This study provides a systematic review of smart trade contracts, examining the research trends and theoretical background of utilizing smart contracts and blockchain technology for the digitalization and automation of trade contracts. Smart trade contracts are a concept that applies the automated contract system based on blockchain to trade-related transactions. The study analyzes the technical and legal challenges and proposes solutions. The technical aspect covers the development of smart contract platforms, scalability and performance improvements of blockchain networks, and security and privacy concerns. The legal aspect addresses the legal enforceability of smart contracts, automatic execution of contract conditions, and the responsibilities and obligations of contract parties. Smart trade contracts have been found to have applications in various industries such as international trade, supply chain management, finance, insurance, and energy, contributing to the ease of trade finance, efficiency of supply chains, and business model innovation. However, challenges remain in terms of legal regulations, interaction with existing legal frameworks, and technological aspects. Further research is needed, including empirical studies, business model innovation, resolution of legal issues, security and privacy considerations, standardization and collaboration, and user experience studies to address these challenges and explore additional aspects of smart trade contracts.

The Internet of Things is a huge group of devices communicating each other and the interconnection of objects in the network is a basic requirement. Choosing a reliable device is critical because malicious devices can compromise networks and services. However, it is difficult to create a trust management model due to the mobility and resource constraints of IoT devices. For the centralized approach, there are issues of single point of failure and resource expansion and for the distributed approach, it allows to expand network without additional equipment by interconnecting each other, but it has limitations in data exchange and storage with limited resources and is difficult to ensure consistency. Recently, trust management models using fog nodes and blockchain have been proposed. However, blockchain has problems of low throughput and delay. Therefore, in this paper, a trust management model for selecting reliable devices in a fog-based IoT environment is proposed by applying IOTA, a blockchain technology for the Internet of Things. In this model, Directed Acyclic Graph-based ledger structure manages trust data without falsification and improves the low throughput and scalability problems of blockchain.

With the development of information technology, the size of the system has become larger and diversified, and the existing role-based access control has faced limitations. Blockchain technology is being used in various fields by presenting new solutions to existing security vulnerabilities. This paper suggests efficient role-based access control in a blockchain where the required gas and processing time vary depending on the access frequency and capacity of the storage. The proposed method redefines the role of reusable units, introduces a hierarchical structure that can efficiently reflect dynamic states to enhance efficiency and scalability, and includes user-centered authentication functions to enable cryptocurrency linkage. The proposed model was theoretically verified using Markov chain, implemented in Ethereum private network, and compared experiments on representative functions were conducted to verify the time and gas efficiency required for user addition and transaction registration. Based on this in the future, structural expansion and experiments are required in consideration of exception situations.

The one of the biggest challenges in using e-mail is that it is difficult to filter out unconfirmed senders. Therefore, in this study, an email group authentication API was designed using blockchain technology, which has been widely used as an authentication method. As the proposed model, the node-node weighting index was obtained through the relationship association network, and after designing the email reliability model, the reliability calculation model of the Rotten Tomato method was obtained. Based on this, the system structure was designed, chain code methods were defined, and API was developed. Through this study, it is expected that it will be used in various fields requiring authentication as well as email user authentication, and it is expected that the relationship of group authentication can be proved by allowing a large number of users to use the API in the future.

Recently, demand for cloud computing has increased and remote access due to home work and external work has increased. In addition, a new security paradigm is required in the current situation where the need to be vigilant against not only external attacker access but also internal access such as internal employee access to work increases and various attack techniques are sophisticated. As a result, the network security model applying Zero-Trust, which has the core principle of doubting everything and not trusting it, began to attract attention in the security industry. Zero Trust Security monitors all networks, requires authentication in order to be granted access, and increases security by granting minimum access rights to access requesters. In this paper, we explain zero trust and zero trust architecture, and propose a new cloud security system for strengthening access control that overcomes the limitations of existing security systems using zero trust and blockchain and can be used by various companies.

As Internet voting can take place regardless of a voter's location, the participation rate of the voters would be increased and economic costs will be reduced. But the drawback of it is that all participants have to trust the election management server. If the server colludes with the specific candidate, the other candidates cannot prove rigged election. In addition, majority of researches on Internet voting are mainly focused on the voting restricted by the region and the country. Thus, it's not appropriate for the election in Internet community such as YouTube channels. As the Internet community is composed of members from all around the world, the new type of voting model is needed. In this study, we propose the smart contract based Internet voting model applicable on the blockchain network. The proposed smart contract model consists of candidate registration, voter registration, voting and counting stages. In the proposed model, anonymity of the voter is assured in the voter registration and voting stages, and all candidates can confirm the fairness of the election in the counting stage.

With the recent development of 5G and artificial intelligence technologies, it is interested in AIOT technology to collect, process, and analyze information in cloud edge environments. AIIoT technology is being applied to various smart environments, but research is needed to perform fast response processing through accurate analysis of collected information. In this paper, we propose a technique to minimize bandwidth and processing time by blocking the connection processing between AIOT information through fast processing and accurate analysis/forecasting of information collected in the smart environment. The proposed technique generates seeds for data indexes on AIOT devices by multipointing information collected by blockchain, and blocks them along with collection information to deliver them to the data center. At this time, we deploy Deep Neural Network (DNN) models between cloud and AIOT devices to reduce network overhead. Furthermore, server/data centers have improved the accuracy of inaccurate AIIoT information through the analysis and predicted results delivered to minimize latency. Furthermore, the proposed technique minimizes data latency by allowing it to be partitioned into a layered multilayer network because it groups it into blockchain by applying weights to AIOT information.

As the limitations of the passive recognition domain, which is not guaranteed transparency of the operation process, AI technology has a vulnerability that depends on the data. Human error is inherent because raw data for artificial intelligence learning must be processed and inspected manually to secure data quality for the advancement of AI learning. In this study, we examine the necessity of learning data management before machine learning by analyzing inaccurate cases of AI learning data and cyber security attack method through the approach from cyber security perspective. In order to verify the learning data integrity, this paper presents the direction of data-preserving artificial intelligence system, a blockchain-based learning data environment model. The proposed method is expected to prevent the threats such as cyber attack and data corruption in providing and using data in the open network for data processing and raw data collection.
